https://cummings.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/statement-baltimore-congressional-delegation-fbi-refusal-lead	Statement from Baltimore Congressional Delegation on the FBI Refusal to Lead Investigation of the Murder of BPD Detective Sean Suiter	2017-12-27	2017	2017-12	Democrat	House	MD	Elijah Cummings	C000984	cummings.house.gov			legacy	WASHINGTON U.S. Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen and Congressmen Elijah Cummings, Dutch Ruppersberger and John Sarbanes (all D-Md.) today released the following joint statement: We are disappointed by the refusal of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to take the lead in investigating the murder of Baltimore Police Department Detective Sean Suiter. While we appreciate the FBI contention that no evidence exists to suggest that Det. Suiters homicide was directly connected to the corruption probe in which he was to testify, the reality remains that little-to-no progress has been made in identifying his killer(s). This means that his family, colleagues and community still lack the peace of mind and sense of justice that would accompany a successful resolution of this investigation, underscoring that the full resources and attention of the federal government remain required to solve this case. We expect that the FBI and other federal agencies that have been cooperating in this investigation will remain fully engaged until justice is delivered, and that the FBI stands ready to immediately reconsider its decision to assume leadership of the investigation should any new evidence suggest it is merited.	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
